jaylee is nosy, so best believe that when she saw tom ryder's producer follow colt seavers to his trailer, she was also shortly behind them. as gail entered the trailer jaylee hid beside the door as soon as she was fully inside.

"don't use that, that's broken eight and a half rolls, that's gotta be a record." jaylee scoffed. something was up with her. up with both of them.

"cut the shit."

"what are you talking about? it was amazing"

"you lied to me, do you know how that feels?" jaylee knew she should leave but she couldn't help it she just had to hear what he had to say, "she doesn't want me here. and jaylee thinks i'm only here for jody. and im starting to see that she's right."

"it's like the message in all my movies"

"nihilism is a viable world view?"

"no that's entertainment, wrap it in sexy bacon. in all those movies, they fall down, rolling in their own shit, think they can't cope, you pick yourself back up."

"i'm gonna lay down, so let me get this straight , nihilism is the sexy bacon
the audience are dogs, you get back up why am I really here?"

"ryder's missing, he's fallen in with some really shady, shitty people."

jaylee knew something was up with him.

"call the cops."

"the studio will know i'm over budget, pull the plug."

"why me?"

you're a stunt man , no one's gonna notice whether you're here or not, no offence."

that's when jaylee plucked up her courage and walked in with a confident façade.

"some taken, but that's okay i'm still willing to help get this deadbeat."

"oh great two is better than one i know i can trust you both" gail said and then turned to colt. "jody can trust you, she just doesn't realise it yet"

this made jaylee scoff and roll her eyes.

"i'm gonna call you. your tomorrow, my today. still with the post it notes?" colt said distastefully.

"what a dumbass. he does realize this is how he could get hacked? all it takes is one wrong post it note." jaylee said grabbing the post it and waving it around as if to prove her point.

"let's not get into it, it's like memento level. save the movie and maybe you get the love of your life back" gail says talking to colt. but she glanced over to jaylee and winked.

"did you just turn jody into the sexy bacon?"

" one day you'll see she hasn't been the sexy bacon all along."

to say colt was confused was an understatement. if not jody then who? does everybody know something that he doesn't?

colt was ready to get this fuck face actor back, and finally win jody over. he's not stupid, he knows jody doesn't see him like that. but he was hoping she would after he got tom back. so that's what led him here, crying in a car to taylor swift.

he didn't want jaylee wrapped into this. so he was ready to go solo. of course that didn't work out.

jody saw colt in the car and instead of approaching him herself, she pushed jaylee who was beside her towards him and left for her car.

"hey"

"hey"

jaylee could see him wiping tears off his face as he turned the radio off.

"what are you doing colt?" she asked concerned.

"chilling down." he said trying to act cool. but jaylee could see through it. she always could when it came to him.

"are you chilling down to taylor swift?" she asked with a bit of laughter to soften the mood.

"yeah, it's an australian saying"

"jody and i have been here six months, and i haven't heard anyone say that." she said skeptically before continuing "have you been crying?"

"no" he said quickly.

"really because you look like you've been crying." jaylee said crossing her arms. "i'm sorry, for jody and i exposing you in front of everyone like that."

"i deserved it."

"can i get in the car with you?" she asked to which colt nodded. "how have you been?"

colt gave her a thumbs up as an answer. jaylee rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"i hate that thumbs up stunt guy bullshit you don't have to explain everything, we were best friends, and only best friends. so you don't owe me by being here. you love my sister, that's the reason you're here." she said crossing her arms and shifting to face colt.

"i wanted to apologize for more than one thing, but it doesn't feel like it'd be enough."

"if you're going to be here, we need to focus up, be profesh." jaylee said. "that means no drooling of my sister."

"profesh is my middle name"

"i thought your middle name was danger?" jaylee said laughing

"that's my stage name." colt said laughing along with her. he hadn't really realized until now, but jaylee was really easy to talk to. of course they were best friends before, but something about this was different. something about her now was different, and it made his heart skip a beat and his stomach flutter. to which of course he ignored and deducted down to not seeing her for a while.
